CSC 102: Problem Solving and CSC 201: Data Structures and Algorithms
Instructor of Record, Wake Forest Computer Science, 2026
CSC 102: An introduction to fundamental principles of computer science including abstraction, data and information, algorithm development, and computer programming. Students apply computational problem solving skills to representative problems from a range of domains using the Python programming language. Appropriate for students who want computing experience applicable to other disciplines.
CSC 201: A study of fundamental data structures and the algorithms that act upon them. Data structure topics include the application, implementation, and complexity analysis of trees, hash tables, heaps, maps, sets, and graphs. Algorithmic topics include advanced sorting and searching methods and an introduction to divide-and-conquer and greedy techniques, graph algorithms, backtracking, and dynamic programming.
